<p style="text-align: justify">Laminated cooling is deemed as one of the most potential and novel cooling technologies for turbine blade to increase turbine inlet temperature, which combines the superiority of film cooling, pin fin cooling and impingement cooling. To realize optimal design, the multidisciplinary design optimization of laminated cooling configuration is conducted considering cooling performance under acceptable pressure loss and thermomechanical performance. A coupled numerical analysis model is established to perform aerodynamical analysis, heat transfer analysis and thermomechanical analysis. Based on parametrized laminated model and Design of Experiments method, the cooling effectiveness, pressure loss and maximum stress can be obtained under different design parameters. Using these sampling points, a Kriging approximation surrogate model can be established to replace real numerical calculation process and balance the efficiency and fidelity. Finally, the multi-island genetic algorithm is used to find the maximum cooling effectiveness and minimum pressure loss under the constraint&nbsp;of maximum stress. Results shows that, the dilation of film hole diameter, pin fin diameter and impingement hole diameter and the reduction of outside plate thickness can effectively improve cooling performance and meanwhile decrease maximum stress, which can be up to 17.68% and 4.96% separately. That can be attributed to the enhancement of inner heat transfer and improvement of outer film cooling.</p>

ASME 2021 Heat Transfer Summer Conference (SHTC2021)

Supporting the need among researchers worldwide for additional online and multimedia content, ASME now offers the ASME Conference Video Collection. This platform will collect and provide long-term access to conference presentation videos, encompassing all technology areas within ASME's technical conference and events program. About 30,000-40,000 engineers across all mechanical engineering and related disciplines participate in ASME conferences each year. This includes authors of approximately 6,000 to 8,000 technical papers published by ASME, the majority of whom also submit video presentations for our virtual conferences. The video collection will be available as an add-on to existing product packages or as a separate subscription.
